Adoption Ministry

Is God leading you to adopt a child and you don't know where to start? Are you facing infertility issues and don't have peace about medical treatment? All is not lost! The adoption ministry at The Lord's Glory Church in partnership with America World Adoption Association is here for you!

Read the testimony below of Associate Pastors Brandon & Sarah Battle, heads of the adoption ministry at The Lord's Glory Church, and Associates with America World Adoption Association:

"We met at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, TX. I [Brandon] say I fell in love with Sarah the moment I saw her, and prayed that someday she would be my wife. That prayer was answered. We have been happily married for over eight years. Those years of marriage were not without their challenges though. In 2001, after years of praying that we would someday be blessed with children, we were diagnosed with infertility. That night we went home from the doctor and wept in prayer together before the Lord. Was this the end of our dreams of a family? No way, only the beginning! God had a definite plan in the works! He led us to pursue adoption! In 2004, after we both reached the age of 30, the minimum age for international adoption, we pursued adoption of a child from China through America World. Less than a week later, unbeknownst to us, a beautiful little girl was born in Hubei, China named Li Jia Yi. After a year full of paperwork and patience, Li Jia Yi turned one year old, and two days later in Wuhan, Hubei, China, she was forever united with her new parents! Our prayers for a family were answered beyond anything we could ask or even think! Our life is a testimony now to what God can do: take a seeming unplanned tragedy and reveal to all what it really was: a planned triumph! Rebecca (“Becca”) Catherine Jiayi Battle is now a happy & healthy toddler and has been with her new mommy and daddy, since March of 2005!

We enjoy being Associate Pastors at The Lord's Glory Church in Humble, TX, founded in 1995 by my Mom and Dad, Tom & Schar Battle, who are today the Senior Pastors of the church and the proud grandparents of Rebecca Catherine Jiayi Battle. Becca’s other proud grandparents, Harry and Jean Mattson, reside in Aquilla, TX. We also enjoy spreading the word about the joys of international adoption as Associates for America World.

We have monthly gatherings for those interested or in the process of adopting internationally at our home! We also have seminars held in various cities throughout Texas!
